World Karate Federation photo competition

Everyone is training hard to achieve their goals of representing their country at the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 for karate which has been selected as an Olympic event for the very first time. 

The World Karate Federation has hosted a world wide photo competition celebrating karatekas everywhere on their journey. 

Our very own Sensei Adrian snapped an awesome photo of Sensei Grace, an instructor at BBMA Mingara, training outside of Mingara Recreation Centre, which was submitted to the competition. 

There were fifty photos submitted and the voting was opened to the general public from places such as India, Hong Kong, Canada, Indonesia and the United States. After weeks of voting the top five were selected and released. Sensei Grace's photo was selected in third place a great honour for her and Black Belt Martial Arts on the world stage.
